| Comments |
The Cassa Rurale di Cogolo-Pejo was a small cooperative rural credit institution operating in the Pejo valley of Trentino, and this note belongs to a broader phenomenon of Italian emergency fiduciary tokens — fedi di credito — issued during the acute small-change shortage of the 1970s. Coin hoarding and the disappearance of low-denomination metal currency from daily commerce pushed hundreds of local entities across Italy to issue their own paper substitutes, technically outside Banca d'Italia authorization but tolerated in practice.
Tipolito 3A in Turin handled many of these small-run commissions. The Cogolo-Pejo issue remains one of the more obscure valley-level examples from the period.
